The Southern African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (SACCORD) has advised Patriotic Front Lusaka Province Chairman Godfrey Chuumbwe to rise above his kind of politics and take responsibility for the bad behavior of his cadres at the UPND rally.
SACCORD Information Officer Obby Chibuluma says it is very unfortunate that Mr. Chuumbwe, as a leader has decided to divert attention from the issue of the ground by insinuating that some people attended the UPND rally to show support to their tribesmen.
Yesterday, Mr. Chuumbwe says Mr. Chibuluma and FODEP Executive Director McDonald Chipenzi’s presence at the UPND rally was a true reflection of their alleged partisanship.
But Mr. Chibuluma says it is shameful for Mr. Chuumbwe to insinuate that he was at the rally to support the UPND.
Mr. Chibuluma, who admits being present at the rally, says he only attended the rally in his capacity as a SACCORD official to monitor the rally, as part of his organizations work.
Speaking in an interview with QFM, Mr. Chibuluma says Mr. Chuumbwe’s plan of trying to divert citizens attention form the matter at hand will not help as what the people want are the solutions to the problems being created.
He states that Mr. Chuumbwe’s failure to take responsibility for his cadre’s action only makes him a failure in his leadership within his party.
